Blackwork a full coif & chemise

Now this one is a challenge, for part of it, at least. I have a lot of pictures of the coif, as that was completed just in time for this year’s 12th Night, but original chemise is long gone. I *do* have a piece of a cuff that was started and then dropped when I irretrievably stained the fabric with coffee. Hmm…

So here’s the stuff on the Coif. I have a whole page on my Mab’s Creations blog about making it. http://wp.me/P3tj51-8t

First, the finished coif on my head. In the pic I’m teaching at 12th Night. That was my blackwork class. >>>>>>>

So now I need a picture of the chemise test bit that I still have. I’m not sure what to do about chemise/smock pix at this point other than that.

Task – Blackwork a full coif & chemise – Assigned by Mistress Aislinn of Cumbria – The chemise (which no longer exists) was completed in early 2000 and lost in our move to the coast. The coif was completed for 12th Night ASXLIX (2015) and a forehead cloth is in progress.
